Session Description
Adult Learners often seek to further their education as a means to advance in their career or to learn skills necessary to launch into a new profession. Adult learners, unlike traditional aged college students, are often more motivated to learn and have higher expectations of faculty in the classroom. This session will introduce self-determination theory as a means to help faculty more effectively meet the needs of adult learners. Autonomy, mastery, and purpose will be discussed and participants will share ideas for incorporating these motivational concepts into their course materials.
